Macro photography advice wanted

Hi,

I bought a Pentax *ist DS with a 18-125mm lense. I started playing around with it and have decided that macro photography is just too much fun. Anyway, I am new to it and would like some advice from the experts we have here at IIS.

First, what is the best lense, for my camera, and on a budget, for macro photography.

Second, do these Macro Closeup Lenses actually work as I really do have to crop quite a bit to get as closeup as in the pictures below.

Finally, I have attached a few of my recent attempts. They have been cropped and the contrast increased by a small amount. Based on these photo's are there any other suggestions/advice about settings or things to look out for.

Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Daniel...
